Can someone please check my work on transformations in exponential functions?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):
1. y = 3 * 2^x
A transformation up one unit and right three units.
My answer: y = 3 * (2^x - 3) + 1
the graph is in the attached file.
OpenStudy (phi):
yes, if you put the parens like this
y = 3* 2^(x-3) + 1
Directrix (directrix):
This y = 3 * (2^x - 3) + 1 is y = 3*2^x -8.
Compared with the given function: y = 3 * 2^x
it appears that the graph dropped 8 units and did not shift to the right.
OpenStudy (quickstudent):
Ok, here's all my corrections:
1. y = 3 * 2^x
A transformation up one unit and right three units.
My answer: y = 3 * 2^(x - 3) + 1
the graph is in the attached file.

OpenStudy (phi):
yes, that is ok
OpenStudy (quickstudent):
Thanks
Can you please check two more?
OpenStudy (quickstudent):
2. y = (0.5)^x
A transformation down five units and left two units.
My answer: y = (0.5)^(x+2) - 5
Here's the graph:
OpenStudy (phi):
yes
OpenStudy (quickstudent):
Ok:) one more
3. y = 2 * 3^x
A transformation up 4 units and left 3 units.
My answer: y = 2 * 3^(x + 3) + 4
